Nigel’s best friends are orange cats

Nigel has the cutest kitty friend who sometimes says hello while we are walking the neighborhood. If you could guarantee that Nigel and a cat of my choice could get along this well, I would have decided to get a cat by now.
Aren’t they precious?

Also, this entry was brought to you entirely by my iPhone…I [...]

The unfortunate ant incident and other weekend occurrences.

So for those you who know me, you know I am not really an outdoors-y type person and therefore, not much of a plant person. However, I am currently in the possession of 4 3 plants belonging to Corner’s coworker Leah. On Friday night, I was minding my own business in the kitchen, heating up [...]

Keeping myself entertained while Corner is away.

Kathy has inspired me to write in my blog more often, so I am resolving to do so, even if I have to resort to writing about the most mundane things in the universe.
So Corner left on Monday for a 5-week work training in Maryland. Totally lame, but I don’t make the rules. I’ve said [...]

A group of the finalists for the BME World Tour are being asked to complete a second assignment and I am not one of the 10 finalists chosen to move onto round two. However, I did want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who came together to support me in this endeavor! It [...]

I am so excited! My video audition made it to the final round of BMEzine’s World Tour Contest.

If I’m chosen, I will get to travel the world with a team of cool people and interview body modification artists around the globe. I applied for the writer role, so I would likely get to blog the [...]

Testing out the WordPress iPhone app

Right now I am sitting in bed, testing out the WordPress iPhone app. I can’t imagine writing lots of posts this way, but I wanted to make one just to take the app for a spin.
Corner left yesterday for a 5-week work training in Maryland. Nigel has taken over his spot in the bed.

That time I took the dog out to pee only to discover a strange guy hiding in our yard.

I was beginning to think that my life is unbelievably boring, considering I have had very little to blog about as of late. Then last night I let Nigel outside for his last pee before bed. It was a little later than usual (just after midnight) since Corner and I had just finished watching Men [...]

It feels good to fail at something.

There are less than 12 hours left in this year’s NaNoWriMo, and I think it’s safe to say that I have failed. I stayed on pace for almost 2 weeks but eventually just lost steam after completely exhausting my outlined materials.
Total word count: 19,365. It’s 106 pages in Storyist, and a damn good start. I’m [...]

Getting ready for NaNoWriMo.

So I’m registered for NaNoWriMo this year. For those who have no idea what this means, it means I am participating in National Novel Writing Month. In order to “win”, you have to write 50,000 words during the month of November. I’ve joined the Santa Cruz and Monterey wrimos groups in hopes of meeting up [...]
